I was lucky to see the final preview performance of BACKBEAT last weekend. Although not a 'Tribute' act as such the cast have rehearsed, and in some instances learnt from scratch, many of the early rock and roll standards The Beatles performed in Hamburg. The show is absolutely superb and as a bit of a nit-picker I was expecting to find fault with things either in the case of time lines or haircuts or clothes or whatever. However despite a few liberties here and there every alteration to 'the truth' works in the favour of a West End show without things being too cheesey or historically incorrect. Of course the show will have its detractors but for me it is a highly recommended night out. See it if you can you won't be disappointed.
